Upholstery Options

Our Upholstery is available in 14 standard colours. We are able to offer a variety of other colours and styles, but these will incur an additional charge. Contact us for more information.

The upholstery used on Medi-Plinth couches has been developed over many years to eliminate issues such as folding and stitching whilst also ensuring minimal creasing. This has resulted in long lasting, smooth coverage and easy maintenance for infection control.

Each product is upholstered in durable, comfortable vinyl which inhibits MRSA (3352 Methicillin resistant to Staphylococcus Aurous), Bio-Pruf treated to resist the growth of mould, mildew and odour causing microbes. The vinyl is also fire retardant. The thickness of the upholstery is roughly 68mm of which 55mm is foam.

Please kindly note that you will be required to include your vinyl selection as part of your couch order.

Cleaning Information

To maintain their appearance, the fabrics should be cleaned regularly to remove fatty substances and soiling. Light soiling can be removed by wiping with a damp, soapy cloth or sponge and subsequent rinsing with water before drying. If dirt is ingrained, the surface may be scrubbed with a soft brush. For stubborn stains a mix of 1 part methylated spirits to 5 parts water may be used. A very mild antiseptic may also be used if required.

Care should be taken to protect the vinyl from oil based products (including body oils) as continued contact will cause the vinyl to harden.

All of our ranges have been tested and are capable of withstanding the most rigorous cleaning regime. Our fabrics can be used with all NHS approved cleaning solutions such as Chlor-Clean, Haz-Tab, Milton and Tristel. Clinell wipes and other alcohol based wipes are safe to use on our vinyls.

The fabrics are resistant to most mild acids, alkalis and household stains. Some substances such as ballpoint pen, lipstick, newsprint and food colourings may be absorbed by the vinyl and cause permanent staining. This can be minimised by immediate cleaning with a damp soapy cloth or sponge.

CAUTION:

Do not use chemical bleaching materials, solvents, abrasive cleaners, wax polish or aerosol spray polishes. The use of these substances is likely to be harmful to PVC coated fabrics and repeated use can result in the removal of the plasticiser of the PVC compound, which will result in hardening and subsequent cracking of the material surface.
